Tricine
Application Notes
Tricine is used as buffer component for separation of low molecular weight peptides. Tricine can be used in cryopreservation medium for the preservation of tissues and organs. Cryopreservation depends on the physical and chemical characteristics of the preservation medium used. The pH values and pK values for tricine/DMSO mixtures has been reported down to -20 °C. Tricine has been found to be an efficient scavenger of hydroxyl radicals in a study of radiation-induced membrane damage. Tricine is typically the buffer of choice in SDS-PAGE systems when separating proteins in the range of 1 to 100 kDa.
